Summary: Fast and Fabulous
Review: Every recipe I tried was easy to do and resulted in compliments to the chef. Though I love the praise, the honors should go to the author of Process This. Recipes are easy to follow, contain helpful hints and result in meals that please the palate and wake up the tastebuds. As a working woman, one of my biggest challenges is to prepare meals that are more than just something to eat. I made three of the recipes immediately after buying the book: Two-Pepper Parmesan Wafers, Jansson's Temptation, and Sweet and Mild Red Pepper Salad with Tomatoes; all three were easy to make and went perfectly with the main course I selected. I took the leftover potatoes (Jansson's Temptation) to work and my co-workers feasted so happily I couldn't get a bite myself. This cookbook has opened up a new world of fun in the kitchen and delightful dining. My food processor can thank Jean Anderson for its move from the back of the cabinet to a place of honor on my kitchen counter.

Summary: Top of the Line
Review: I am totally blown away with this particular "cooking" book. At last there is "one stop mixing".....and in a processor. Wow! The receipes are straight forward and nothing that require real "far out" ingredients. I'm a pie freak, and I can't wait to try the crust in this cook book, it sounds great!! I am buying this book, beacause I read my friend's and couldn't believe the wonderful and tasty receipes. Also love the author's explanations and comments about "stuff" and how to do things easier and better. I've already tasted the Gazpacho and Wow was it great!! Bringing the Red Pepper and Roasted Garlic soup for Sunday picnic....Hats off to the Author!! Not a waste of money to purchase this book!!!!

Summary: "Process This" not for every-day/family meals
Review: I got this book to supplement the skimpy cook book that came with my ll cup KitchenAid food processor (which I LOVE). The book is written in a chatty rather than business only format--OK if you aren't in a hurry. Anderson's tips and techniques are very helpful for a new food processor user. Most of the recipes themselves aren't practical for families with small chilren (lots of onion, garlic, peppers, sophisticated flavors); for people on a budget; or for those who need to watch calories or fat--unless you know how to make substitutions for butter, egg yolks, heavy cream. The recipes are more appropriate for gourmet cooks or special occasions. I used the beef, chicken, and vegetabe stock recipes; the Potage Crecy (French Carrot Soup); and Cornell Bread. All turned out well. I used Anderson's techniques for adapting my favorite cinnamon roll and focaccia recipes to the food processor, and those turned out well, also. Buy this book if you really like to cook.

Summary: Now Even I Can Process
Review: I have to admit that I was thoroughly intimidated by my food processor until I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Jean Anderson's Process This! With mistrust and full of doubt, I began scanning How to Use This Book and Getting Down to Basics, and by the time I reached Equilavents, my confidence had blossomed and I couldn't wait to get started. With company coming for Thanksgiving, I decided to try a new vegetable dish and chose Red Cabbage Braised the Bavarian Way. By following Jean's excellent directions and tips, I did it! and it was a big hit with my guests! I have also mixed up a batch of Parmesan Wafers (easy!) and am saving it for my 5-year old grand-daughter to help push through a cookie press as Jean suggests. I can hardly wait to try that fat-free ice cream! Thank you, Jean Anderson!

Summary: QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Review: I know that this is not a chat room, but I would like to take this opportunity to answer a few questions posed by customer reviewer behrendt 1 of Rogers, MN. "India relish" is nothing more than "sweet pickle relish." Heinz makes it as do many other "brand-name" manufacturers. Tahini (sesame seed paste) is a supermarket staple in my small Southern town and lemongrass is sold at my farmer's market as well as at three local groceries. Moreover, lemongrass makes a beautiful, edible potted plant. I would urge behrent 1 to try the Sweet Potato Soup w/ Coconut Milk, Lemongrass, and Cilantro, also the Chicken Liver and Red Onion Jam Pate. I've served both on book tour and people come back for seconds, thirds, and fourths. Jean Anderson, author, PROCESS THIS!

Summary: great book for christmas and birthday presents
Review: i love this book. i am giving copies of the book for christmas presents (along with a food processor) to my children and daughter in law. with crystal clear directions and classic recipes jean anderson will teach young people how to cook wonderful meals.
i am using the book myself because i am no longer interested in spending hours and hours in the kitchen preparing meals for my husband and myself. this is the book to teach cooks how to save time.
the recipe for vitello tonnato is worth the price of the book. it's difficult to find classic recipes like this anymore.

Summary: Everything You Need To Know About the Food Processsor
Review: I was given a copy of "Process This" when I got my new food processor in the fall and I don't know how I would have gotten through the holidays without it. I found all my favorite cookies (Chocolate Chip, Mexican Wedding Cakes, Macaroons)in the book and I made them in half the time. The introductory section that tells you how to handle everything from Almonds to Zucchini is worth the price of the book. I figured out how to make the dough for my traditional sticky buns in the processor using Anderson's directions. And, I was very excited to find a way to make mayonnaise without all the chemicals. I can't wait to try the Coyote Caviar and Down South Marinated Slaw for Super Bowl.
